Hans,

Thanks for the code. I have made some changes to the code and it works fine (except for one small issue that I am facing).

function saveDecision() {
        var grid = ISGetObject("WebGrid1");
        var ddl = document.getElementById("<%= ddlDecision.ClientID %>");
        var checkedRows = grid.RootTable.GetCheckedRows();
        var ddlValue = ddl.options[ddl.selectedIndex].value;
        if (checkedRows.length > 0) {
            if (!grid.IsInProgress) {
                for (i = 0; i < checkedRows.length; i++) {
                    var checkedRow = grid.RootTable.GetCheckedRows()[i];
                    var selectedRow = grid.RootTable.ToRowObject(checkedRow);
                    var cells = selectedRow.GetCells();
                    if (selectedRow.KeyValue != '') {
                        // update the selected row's cells value
                        cells.GetNamedItem("Decision").SetText(ddlValue, true);
                        // update the selected row object
                        selectedRow.Update();
                    }
                }
                if (i >= checkedRows.length) {
                    i = 0;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

 I have removed the setInterval function from the code. I am not sure why do we need it. Please let me know what is the purpose of this function.

Also, though it is working fine, I am finding that a pop-up window opens in the grid that states "Are you sure you want to navigate away from the page?....." <attachment - error.jpg>

Please let me know how to take this out?

Hi Yudi,

Thanks for the mail and the response. Your response was useful. But I am trying to do the same thing in my project (file attached) to get the webgrid working using Update Panel. But my efforts are useless. I am not able to load the data into the webgrid. And neither I am able to save the webgrid schema to the xml.

Please advice.

Riendy,

Thanks for the quick reply. But I am not able to save the correct table structure to the XML. It is saving the default structure that was bound to the grid initially. Following is the scenario-

a) I bind the dataset to the grid using OnInitialize and PrepareDatabinding events.

b) I change the column positions. (No flypostback happens)

c) I click the save button to save the new structure.

The saved xml doesnt contain the information about the change in the column positions, but instead saves the original structure. 

Please suggest how to save the new table structure with new column position information.

Thanks

Udy
